Product Information

Full details

The Sterling Ventures Aluminium Frying Pan (STK406) is an ideal tool for home cooks and commercial kitchen staff seeking a reliable, heavy-gauge cooking surface. Its 26cm diameter makes it perfect for daily tasks such as searing, frying, and simmering, while the wooden handle offers a comfortable grip and convenient storage. While it provides excellent heat distribution, users should note that the aluminium finish is susceptible to scratching and requires the exclusive use of non-metallic cooking utensils to maintain its integrity.

FAQs

Can I put this pan in the dishwasher?

No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. The harsh chemicals in dishwasher detergents can damage and discolour the aluminium.

Is the wooden handle oven safe?

No, the wooden handle should not be placed in the oven as high heat will damage the wood and potential finishings.

What type of utensils should I use?

Only use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to prevent scratching the aluminium surface.

Does this pan work on induction cooktops?

This pan is made of aluminium and is not natively magnetic; it will not work on induction stoves unless they have a specific induction-compatible base adapter.

How do I remove light stains?

For light stains, a paste made of baking soda and water can be gently rubbed on the area with a soft cloth, then rinsed and dried immediately.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the pan surface

Ensure the pan is preheated correctly with a small amount of oil or butter before adding ingredients.

Handle feels loose after prolonged use

Check the connection point at the base of the handle and tighten the hardware if accessible.

Surface discoloration

Aluminium can react with highly acidic foods; avoid simmering vinegar or tomato-based sauces for extended periods.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent even heat distribution
  • Sturdy heavy-gauge build quality
  • Comfortable wooden handle stays cool
  • Convenient integrated storage loop
  • Suitable for both home and commercial use

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using your pan for the first time, wash it thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge to remove any manufacturing residue.

  • Compatibility: The pan is designed for standard gas and electric stovetops. Check your specific stovetop manufacturer's instructions if using induction, as aluminium itself is non-magnetic.
  • Cleaning: Hand wash only using mild detergent and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid steel wool or harsh scrubbing pads that can erode the aluminium surface.
  • Storage: Hang the pan by the handle loop to prevent nesting it with other cookware, which can cause surface scratches.
